What a lovely list. Hoping we can clear some of these up for Dallas.  The poor kid just can't catch a break!  Luckily his wheezing tendencies have been so much less this winter.  We have only used the nebulizer a couple of times on Dallas.  
He has had an ear infection in one or both ears for a month and a half now.  We are on our 3rd different 10 day antibiotic run, this doesn't include the week break where he had to get two injections of Augmentin (antibiotic) straight to the thigh! 

We are currently trying to teach him "auto-inflation" (pop your ears).  If we can get his ears to pop and drain naturally we might be able to avoid surgery.  The ENT also could not guarentee that a post surgery Dallas would sleep better.  For now we are trying to get him to pinch his nose and blow/swallow 5-10 times a day and we go for a recheck in April.
